HARp FALLS AT sHEEPsHEAD.
THREE JOCKEYS SEVERELY SHAKEN UP

xxuE RUNS TWO RACES AND WINS THE BAY
RIDGE IN FAST TIME
A Texas steer might lie down and roll over those
Aurdles at sheepshead Bay, yet three highly accom-
iplshed chasers-Brunova Lttcfeow and schoolmaster
take It into their rogish heads to dodge them ana
attempt fight the rail instead were they aftef
grass or did they simply wish to get up sensation
Everybody supposed Mr.. Harwood was dead' lie Jay
here 80 still and stiff but before the extent Oh MS m
artes could be determined ttefelow and schoonas'er
Bit the dust with their riders under them Littieeow
made no effort get up and schoomaster rolled over
him in the most reckless fashion Dickens fell under the
hail Ia which piece of good fortune he probably owes his
life scanlon pinned to the ground by MS mount
and the excited spectators gave him up The chances
arecopsdcrng the toughness OF the average steepe-
ehase rtder-that he will be In the saddle again before
saturday SO will Mr.. HARDWOOD. But 1t was close call
The accident marred the pleasure OF an otherwise
Thoroughly enjoyable day-enjoyabe Notwithstanding
some wretched bungng at the post In TWO races one
scpo Africanus Mr. Cadwells pet ana partner III ,ne
starting business plainly has no business on inc COURSE
Ne does great deal more harm than good, and IL Is
enough to ruin the temper Of any horse to have MN
hvingug on to the brtes head or flashing MIN WIN
whip. There's no denying that stonebuck is rogue
but he might have run much more Respectable race
than he did had not been abused at the post between
IttIeacd and scipio Africanus the horse had ht'ie
chance Of winning. Telie Doe stood the tormenths
Aeay patently for twenty minutes but gave up at last
grew restless retted and lost the race Jennie b. was
mn unfortunate victim Of the same complaint
Exile's victory In the Bay Ridge renewal was DEVIL
dcrng He arrived the barely in time Tor the
race having walked from the circus by the sea- IN
which he had played part. over there ne had peeh
tcnominiously beaten by Richmond Elkwood ana the
great Biscuit in a mile and quarter race; the llme
being 2:O7s. The of his defeat spread lndustrl
onsly about the betting ring caused the odds TO grow
long against him. Here they were TO j. y0huer 10 l,
and in one or two places TO could DO nad linen the
fnowipg ones plunged. When The horses went 10 the
most to was the best to be found against EXe. for
once the boolmakers caught Mapping Inc race
was run In exceedingly fast time "a z, withll hau

While signor Cohen and the Brannons are entahgnIg
themselves In the meshes OF the law. Orvid lovely

public by winning the first race on the programue Sne

being unable to see beyond 1chi Ban VINO, WIN NC
Iauchlin up was looked upon as a certainty ,,u
There was some disposition TO censure MI Cauwen
for the manner OF the start in the race Tor the erhau
Stakes hut Luke TO his rescue by acknowieuglng
10 Mr. Belmont that the bunglng was all his iauit anu
the starter was not to blame. Lady Primrose Dut Tor
the warning shouts of her hackers, would have peen
left at the post Luke made up for his bunder D ms
excellent horsemanshp, for he easily beat everything
in the race except Firenzi II he had gotten on Wen
